Title and track listing have been announced for Black Metallers EPISODE 13’s upcoming album. “Death Reclaims The Earth” will be the follow up to 2009’s “Pitch Black” and will be the band’s third full-length album. Recording and mixing is currently under way at the Midasin Kulaklığı Studios in Ankara, and once completed, the album will be mastered at Sweden’s Necromorbus Studio, known for its work with bands like WATAIN, ONDSKAPT, FUNERAL MIST etc. Track listing for “Death Reclaims The Earth” as follows:
1 - Ars Moriendi
2 - Physical Comatose & Mental Overdose
3 - Unmensch
4 - Ignorance Is Bliss
5 - Ultimate Sterilization
6 - Worthless
7 - Spread His Word
“Death Reclaims The Earth” sees the return of vocalist Ozan Akyol, who, together with guitarist Murat and drummer Nursuz (ZIFIR), founded EPISODE 13 in 2001 (the band’s current line up includes Sermet Durusan on bass and Serkan Zengin on guitars). The front man took a temporary break from the band to complete his studies during the recording of “Pitch Black”, but although absent on vocals, his input on the sophomore album was still considerable. Three tracks from “Death Reclaims The Earth” were debuted at Norway’s Inferno Festival earlier this year, and Akyol, a brooding and compelling live performer, whose vocals add a chillingly sinister touch to the new material, had this to say about the forthcoming album: “We really used “Pitch Black” to move away from the melodic aspects of our debut “Tabula Rasa” because you can’t express brutality and contempt with pleasant keyboard interludes, and with “Death Reclaims The Earth” we can finally say that our sound accurately reflects our view of humanity”.
